Scanning for a Cause

I spent the weekend scanning photos to raise money for the Cancer Coping Center. The experience of handling the photos that carry so many memories, was deep, as we laughed, we cried and we explored history.

The women at my table were phenomenal. We had a breast cancer survivor now in her 60's who shared her efforts to raise money. She shared the decision to show her bald head during cancer treatment at a fundraising event. It was a brave decision at the time, as she said she had not showed her baldness to anyone in her life until that day. She explained that she makes sure that her story is shared with her children and their children, as breast cancer can happen to anyone.

The Cancer Coping Center helps family members by providing a creative outlet as they are waiting for their family member undergoing cancer treatment.

Pet Memorial Books

My cat died yesterday.

As Christmas I created a book for my son of our new kitten, well she's really 9 months old when we got her. That cat has created such joy in his life. I love the book, even though I have given it away to him. I have been scolded, sadly many times, by my son for taking his book with me as I go see people. I can easily order another copy of the book, to avoid the scorn from my son, but I have not.

I have waited, as I am wanting to create a more inclusive book to include my old cat. Unfortunately, it will now be a Pet Memorial Book. I have stolen his book yesterday, as there was a page in there of my old cat that I had to keep close to my heart. I must put it back before he returns home from school.

Remember your pets...
